The pall bearers were Misses Helen Whisler, Jessie Waight, Florence Whisler and Minnie Miles. The bereaved parents have the sincere sympathy of their many friends and neighbors in their sad hour of trouble.

There's a pair of little hands
Laid to rest forever more,
There's two pearly dimpled cheeks
Whose rich blossoming is o'er;
That will no more smile or weep,
Tiny windows of the soul;
Little baby's gone to sleep.

There's another bud removed,
Ere it felt the blight of sin;
Through the door the angels made
Darling baby has passed in;
Far beyond the asure skies,
Where the tiny star eyes peep,
From all earth's sad doubts and fears
Little baby's gone to sleep.

She will wake in fairer lands,
Where the angels' voices sing;
There the flowerets shall expand,
There shall love perfection bring;
She has reached the golden shore,
Through the river cold and deep;
Little baby's gone to sleep.

CARD OF THANKS.

We sincerely thank our friends and neighbors who were so kind during our sad bereavement.

MR. and MRS. BEN KOHAL.
